If I am silent 
Then I am not real 
If I speak up then 
No one will hear 
If I wear a mask there's 
Somewhere to hide 

Silence is golden 
I have been broken 
Safe in my own skin 
So nobody wins 

If I raise my voice 
Will someone get hurt? 
And if I can feel it 
I won't get touched 
If no [bad word] was spoken 
Then no lies can hide 

Silence is golden 
I have been broken 
Safe in my own skin 
So nobody wins 
Silence is golden 
Nobody gets in 
Safe in my own skin 
So nobody wins 

Did you hear me speak? 
Do you understand? 
Did you hear my voice? 
Will you hold my hand? 
Do you understand me? 

Won't someone listen 
Nobody gets in 
My body's a temple 
But nothing is simple 

Silence is golden 
I have been broken 
Something was stolen 
Safe in my own skin 

Safe in my own skin 
Won't someone listen 
My body's a temple 
But nothing is simple
